This is Part 2 of our conversation with Dr. Reid Lyon, one of the leading experts in reading research. After years working for and with the highest levels of the U.S. government, Dr. Lyon stepped away from working on reading research. However, in May 2023, he released his "Ten Maxims: What We've Learned So Far About How Children Learn to Read." Picking up where we left off last episode, Dr. Lyon continues to expand on what we know about how children learn—and explains how much of this information was known two decades ago when he was testifying before Congress. He also goes into what he sees in the current Science of Reading landscape, and what he hopes for the future, and how both of those things led to the creation of his "Ten Maxims."Show notes:Listen to: Embracing the complexity of learning to read (Part 1)Dr. Reid Lyon: “Ten Maxims: What We've Learned So Far About How Children Learn to Read”Keith Rayner's research: “Eye movements in reading and information processing: 20 years of research”Marilyn Adams: Beginning to ReadSusan Brady:  Phonological Processes in Literacy Emily Hanford: “Sold a Story: How Teaching Kids to Read Went So Wrong”Quotes:“The Science of Reading is cumulative and we're learning all kinds of new things.” —Dr. Reid Lyon“A more realistic look at reading is in fact to understand the complexity, but not be intimidated by it.” —Dr. Reid Lyon“When you're working on something that's so critical to a life—to a child's life—belief systems don't cut it. Evidence cuts it.” —Dr. Reid Lyon

5Cs of History, Complexity: #4 of 4. During the Tang dynasty in the mid 8th century, a military leader named Li Baozhen was frustrated with his aging body. He had achieved much military glory and material wealth in his life, but he was aging and facing the fact that death was approaching. But he had also had dreams that he was riding triumphantly through the sky on a crane. Surely this was an omen! At the same time, Li Baozhen met Sun Jichang, who was a fangshi - a word that can be translated as alchemist, wizard, magician, and also doctor or physician. Sun Jichang offered Li Baozhen a concoction that he promised would allow him to “transcend” death. Inspired by his dreams of slipping away from earth on the back of a crane, Li Baozhen took the elixir - only to become incredibly sick. Li Baozhen's experience captures something of the complexity of Chinese medicine: competing ideas of how to heal, the use of various powerful medicines in careful (and not so careful) doses, the intermingling of spiritual and medicial philosophies, and the quest for health and power, even immortality. For this installment in our series on the five C's of historical thinking, we're contemplating the historical concept of complexity through an exploration of Chinese medicine.

Biological organisms are paradigmatic emergent systems. That atoms of which they are made mindlessly obey the local laws of physics; even cells and organs do their individual jobs without explicitly understanding the larger whole of which they are a part. And yet the system as a whole functions beautifully, with apparent purpose and function. How do the small parts come together to form the greater whole? I talk with biologist Rosemary Braun about what we're learning about collective behavior within organisms from the modern era of huge biological datasets, especially crucial aspects like timekeeping (with bonus implications for dealing with jet lag).Support Mindscape on Patreon.Blog post with transcript: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2023/09/25/251-rosemary-braun-on-uncovering-patterns-in-biological-complexity/Rosemary Braun received her Ph.D. in physics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and an M.P.H. in biostatistics from Johns Hopkins.

In this segment of the men's marriage repair workshop, Maurice Harker, Director of Life Changing Services, discusses the concept of situational empathy and its crucial role in building a healthy marriage. He uses powerful examples, including Christ's situational empathy during his crucifixion, to illustrate the depth of understanding and compassion required in relationships. Maurice begins by challenging the idea that marriage should be easy and emphasizes the importance of embracing the challenges that come with it. He encourages participants to develop situational empathy, a key skill for improving communication and resolving conflicts. Using examples from the life of Christ, Maurice illustrates the concept of situational empathy in the face of adversity and personal pain. He urges participants to strive for the same level of empathy and understanding in their relationships, even when they discover aspects of themselves or their partners that need improvement. Participants actively engage in the discussion, sharing their thoughts and experiences related to situational empathy. Maurice acknowledges the difficulty of the journey and encourages them to prioritize and work on one aspect at a time while relying on divine help. The message throughout the workshop is clear: both men and women need to develop situational empathy and compassion for each other's struggles and imperfections. Building a healthy marriage requires understanding, empathy, and a willingness to support each other in personal growth.

Dr. Reid Lyon is one of the leading experts in reading research. After years working for and with the highest levels of the U.S. government, Dr. Lyon stepped away from his reading research. But in May 2023, Dr. Lyon released his "Ten Maxims: What We've Learned So Far About How Children Learn to Read." And of course Susan jumped at the chance to invite him onto the podcast. In a wide-reaching interview, Dr. Lyon traces his life story from the Vietnam War to the National Institute of Health. He also offers an expansive overview of what we know about teaching reading, how children learn—including a discussion of whole language vs. phonics—and his response to educators wondering what reading actually is and what methodology of teaching students to read is most effective. Be on the lookout for Part 2 of our interview with Dr. Reid Lyon, being released next week.Show notes:Dr. Reid Lyon: “Ten Maxims: What We've Learned So Far About How Children Learn to Read”Keith Rayner's research: “Eye movements in reading and information processing: 20 years of research”Marilyn Adams: Beginning to ReadSusan Brady:  Phonological Processes in Literacy Emily Hanford: “Sold a Story: How Teaching Kids to Read Went So Wrong”Quotes:“Phonics—that is, looking at letters, letter patterns, learning how to bring sound to associate to those letters—is absolutely essential, non-negotiable. It has to be learned. But it in no way is sufficient to be able to comprehend, which is the goal of reading.” —Dr. Reid Lyon“Reading is a complex behavior subserved by multiple systems in the brain that integrate and inform each other.” —Dr. Reid Lyon“It's a symphony of neural activity that undergirds this very complex behavior of just learning how to read. So when people boil reading down into phonics or whole language, it's just a false characterization.” —Dr. Reid Lyon“People somehow conflated this natural ability of oral language to develop—just expose kids, just shower them with language—to reading. And reading is by no means natural. It has to be taught. It does not reside in the brain systems.” —Dr. Reid Lyon“We're hampered by the teacher-knowledge issue. That's not a teacher's fault. That's a college of education system that is bereft of responsibility. It operates on philosophical foundations. It operates on belief systems. It's very politicized. It looks at reading as a right, which it is. But it doesn't look at the instruction of reading as methodology—strategies, direct and comprehensive programs that can help most kids learn to read.” —Dr. Reid Lyon

It's National Insider Risk Awareness Month, a month where companies and government agencies step out and look to step up their insider risk understanding. ClearanceJobs chatted with Dave Komendat, the former Chief Security Officer at Boeing, currently the president of DSKomendat Risk Management Services, and recently named as an advisor for SIMS Software, a leading security information management system supporting the national security community and commercial sector in addressing insider risk.Insider threats are nothing new, and Komendat spent a career addressing security from a variety of levels. He learned the important art of not just understanding risk, but being able to convey it to the C-suite – which is a critical aspect of developing a successful security program. For too long, security was a stove-piped function without the proper crossover into other key company functions, like IT and human resources. Komendat talks about making the shift and other practical considerations for security programs and officers today. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

How do you deal with change? Do you consider it inevitable? Do you not like change because a pocket full of coins is annoying? Jokes aside, Emily is asking today why it's so hard to affect change in certain church communities and why some changes in personal beliefs come with such high contrast. And Stephen goes on a fiery rant against "thoughts and prayers", fulfilling his role as the shows' angry atheist.Mentioned in the episode:  Sorites Paradox Wiki Black Mirror: Bandersnatch IMDB 141.

In the fast-paced and ever-evolving world of business, the key to success often lies in simplifying processes across various departments, be it marketing, sales, or operations. Today, we will delve into the significance of streamlining your company's processes and share a real-life client experience that highlights the transformative impact of simplification. Complexity can be the silent killer of efficiency within an organization. It can lead to confusion, frustration, and, most importantly, lost opportunities. Let's take the example of John, a dedicated entrepreneur who was struggling with a cumbersome lead management process that was seriously hampering his company's sales growth. John's company had a highly intricate lead management system, which required his sales team to navigate through an array of software tools and databases to access customer information. This convoluted process not only consumed valuable time but also resulted in data discrepancies and errors. As a result, potential clients were slipping through the cracks, and sales were stagnating. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, John reached out to our team for assistance. We immediately conducted a comprehensive analysis of his company's processes and identified the bottlenecks that were inhibiting growth. What we found was not surprising – an overly complicated lead management process was the primary culprit. Our solution was simple yet effective. We implemented a user-friendly customer relationship management (CRM) system that streamlined lead tracking and communication. This single platform allowed John's sales team to access customer data effortlessly, track interactions, and follow up promptly. Additionally, we provided training to ensure that the team was well-equipped to utilize the new system efficiently. The results were astounding. With the simplified lead management process in place, John's company experienced a significant boost in sales productivity. The sales team could now focus more on building relationships with potential clients rather than getting bogged down by administrative tasks. Customer satisfaction also improved, as the streamlined process allowed for quicker responses to inquiries and better-tailored interactions. John's experience serves as a powerful testament to the importance of simplifying company processes. By eliminating unnecessary complexities, businesses can achieve higher efficiency, reduced errors, and improved customer satisfaction. Moreover, streamlined processes empower employees to work more productively and creatively, which can ultimately lead to increased profitability. In conclusion, whether you're dealing with marketing, sales, or operations, simplifying your company's processes is crucial for long-term success. Don't wait until complexity stifles your growth – take proactive steps to streamline your operations, just as John did, and watch your business thrive. The power of simplicity can be the key to unlocking your company's full potential in today's competitive landscape.

Key Takeaways:Use of technological automation in the audit can yield increased efficiency, improved accuracy, consistency and quality. Complexity, data quality, lack of flexibility, resistance to change and over-reliance on technology are challenges to automating auditing procedures that need specific consideration.Auditors are intentionally and systematically focusing on automating aspects of the audit that build capacity and streamline systems but that also focus on feedback and enablement of adoption.Board members should be asking auditors about automation use cases and recommendations for improvements to apply to their own financial accounting, reporting and controls areas.

5 Cs of History. Complexity. Episode #3 of 4. Puerto Rico is a territory of the United States, and its residents are considered United States citizens. However the island's political status remains a subject of debate and discussion. Some Puerto Ricans advocate for independence, while others support maintaining the current status as a territory, pursuing statehood, or seeking other forms of self-determination for the island. The political status of Puerto Rico remains a complex and ongoing issue. Find show notes and transcripts at www.digpodcast.org Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Introduction: Guest: Julie Fredrickson, Managing Partner at Chaotic Capital. Chaotic Capital is a seed-stage investment vehicle that focuses on ideas adapting humanity to complexity. Follow her on Twitter Adapting to Complexity: Julie raises the essential question: "What is the primary factor linking humanity to complexity?" As things change, it's vital to learn how to adapt and evolve. It's about more than just the traditional liberal-conservative divide. Understanding Change: Discussion on "Chesterton's fence" – a principle highlighting the importance of understanding the reasons behind a tradition before discarding it. We often don't have all the information about why certain systems or structures exist. The concept of a "conservative accelerationist" is introduced. What traditions or values do people want to preserve in the face of rapid change? Historical Perspective & Our Understanding: Examples from history highlight our ever-evolving understanding. A millennium ago, the earth was thought to be centered; 500 years ago, it was believed flat. The movie "Men in Black" underscores the fluid nature of human understanding, challenging our conceptions and paradigms. Julie emphasizes the power of human inference – our unique ability to draw conclusions from information. Given our current knowledge, how does this skill evolve, and what questions do we need to ask to better understand our surroundings? Role and Limitations of AI: The conversation delves into whether we've provided enough context to AI systems. A significant concern is AI alignment – to what or whose standards is AI being aligned? Is it the median human, societal norms, or something else? The prospect of AI achieving human-like inference and skepticism is explored. Can AI be trained to question and fact-check itself? The Internet, Open Source, and Corporations: A retrospective on the internet's evolution, from closed corporate internets to open source. The dilemma of whether we'll be using corporate Large Language Models (LLMs) or open-sourced LLMs in the next five years. Culture, Symbols, and Power: Julie's career in fashion, beauty, and luxury offers insights into symbols and semiotics. Language isn't the only medium of communication. Who truly owns culture, and who holds the power? Transhumanism and Medical Ethics: Julie discusses her college days as a medical ethicist researching cloning during 2002-2006. The topic of transhumanism is broached. Julie posits that in many ways, we are already transhuman, referencing technologies like fertility treatments. There's a debate about the risks of corporate interests dominating AI and transhumanist technologies. The future is uncertain, and it's impossible to predict the outcomes fully. Preparing for the Age of Acceleration: Quoting William Gibson, "The future is here, but it's unevenly distributed," Julie ponders the accelerating pace of change. She seeks solace and insights from groups focused on effective accelerationism and those termed "doomer optimists." Julie touches on resource scarcity, arguing that human wants will always exceed available resources. She briefly addresses the topic of prepping and the challenges associated with it. Conclusion: Julie underscores the importance of agency. It's essential to ask who's influencing our decisions and who's potentially programming our behaviors.

Alicia Juarrero is a philosopher and has been interested in complexity since before it was cool. In this episode, we discuss many of the topics and ideas in her new book, Context Changes Everything: How Constraints Create Coherence, which makes the thorough case that constraints should be given way more attention when trying to understand complex systems like brains and minds - how they're organized, how they operate, how they're formed and maintained, and so on. Modern science, thanks in large part to the success of physics, focuses on a single kind of causation - the kind involved when one billiard ball strikes another billiard ball. But that kind of causation neglects what Alicia argues are the most important features of complex systems the constraints that shape the dynamics and possibility spaces of systems. Much of Alicia's book describes the wide range of types of constraints we should be paying attention to, and how they interact and mutually influence each other. I highly recommend the book, and you may want to read it before, during, and after our conversation. That's partly because, if you're like me, the concepts she discusses still aren't comfortable to think about the way we're used to thinking about how things interact. Thinking across levels of organization turns out to be hard. You might also want her book handy because, hang on to your hats, we jump around a lot among those concepts. Context Changes everything comes about 25 years after her previous classic, Dynamics In Action, which we also discuss and which I also recommend if you want more of a primer to her newer more expansive work. Alicia's work touches on all things complex, from self-organizing systems like whirlpools, to ecologies, businesses, societies, and of course minds and brains.

A grandmother is sitting with her grandson and says, "In life, there are two wolves inside of you that are constantly in battle. The good wolf represents things like kindness, love, and joy while the bad wolf represents things like greed, hatred and fear." The grandson thinks about it for a moment then looks up at his grandmother and asks, "But grandmother, which one wins?" The grandmother answers with, "The one you feed."We think about the Self and our relationship with it. In addition to the parable, we ponder the ideas of Self embedded in concepts like the Inner Child, Internal Family Systems, personality typologies. Bonus questions include: is it possible to be codependent on God in the worshiper/divine relationship.Mentioned in the episode:  The One You Feed Podcast Matthew 7:12 - The Golden Rule The Artists Way by Julia Cameron Codependent No More by Melody Beattie John 14:6 - I Am The Way Luke 10 - The Prodigal Sons Support us: Join our Patreon community and buy us a drink at patreon.com/ravelpod for as little as $3/mo!

In this episode, Isabel Smith delves into a concerning trend she has noticed: people are experiencing more complex and slower healing processes for various health issues. She highlights how standard gut issues, hormone imbalances, and other health problems are now requiring stronger treatments and taking longer to heal. Isabel explores the potential reasons behind this shift, suggesting that the loss of resiliency in our bodies may be a contributing factor to the slower healing processes. She discusses the importance of identifying deficiencies in the body and creating a healing roadmap, but note that it is taking longer for the body to heal compared to previous years. Isabel discusses a concerning trend where people are increasingly relying on stronger treatments for their health issues. She explains that these treatments are not yielding the same rapid results as before, indicating that the conditions are becoming more intricate and challenging to address. Isabel attributes this phenomenon to factors such as heightened fatigue and overall depletion in individuals' bodies, resulting in weakened mitochondria. As the mitochondria play a crucial role in powering cells and bodily functions, including the immune system and healing processes, she suggests that the need for stronger treatments may stem from compromised immune systems and slower healing capabilities.Additionally, our guest discusses the rise of chemical toxicity in the environment, food, and clothing, and its impact on overall health. She acknowledges that this trend is particularly prevalent in the US, although it may not be as prominent in other regions. We concur that it requires significant time and effort to ensure that one's surroundings, food, and other aspects of daily life are free from harmful chemicals.00:07:46 Food as medicine, helping people.00:12:18 Complexity of healing is increasing.00:14:43 Histamine intolerance and COVID microbiome.00:21:06 Gut microbiome affected by viruses.00:24:43 Antibiotic resistance and prevalence of fungus.00:30:06 Use Mastic gum for H. pylori.00:37:41 Importance of clinical treatment and inference.00:41:56 Diet matters for yeast overgrowth.00:48:35 Reconnecting with our bodies is important.00:50:58 Mindset is crucial for healing.00:55:00 Importance of holistic healing.Links: Biocidin- https://biocidin.com/Biogena- https://biogena-usa.com/Discover the Nutrition, Lifestyle, & Fitness Plan that Works Best with YOUR Body with InsideTracker!

OVERVIEW: “Keep it simple, stupid!” – A design principle noted by the U.S. Navy Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about keeping your business “Simple.” Jason shares one of the most common traps new business owners fall into – chasing “Shiny Objects” or feeling the need to be “Extraordinary.” You don't need to do extraordinary things to achieve extraordinary results, and in this episode, Jason explains why. Tune in until the end to hear about Jason's new rank-topping book! EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: “Keep it simple, stupid” is a powerful motto Jason has followed since he heard it from his high school teacher. People often believe they need to be wildly “extraordinary” and accomplish “complex” feats. In an interview, Warren Buffet once said, “you don't have to do exceptional things to get exceptional results.” Instead of doing extraordinary things, strive to do simple things extraordinarily. In business, complex systems can cost you effectiveness and efficiency. Keep things at a level where it's easy for everyone to understand. Simple systems and processes benefit you during turnover, as it isn't difficult to pass on responsibilities if they are easy to understand. Pursue businesses that are simple and boring but deliver exceptional results. Business owners who dislike doing “boring” work and are distracted and chase down new, exciting, shiny objects usually deliver subpar results. Moving from “good to great” and “great to exceptional” takes a lot of time, effort, repetition, and going through the “boring” things that feel as if they don't make any progress. As an example, Jason and his team are in the process of simplifying their business. He will consolidate his different business entities into one overarching brand called “Healthcare Boss” to avoid the complexity of using several accounts for several apps. TWEETABLE QUOTES: “Keep it simple. If you have a complex business model with complex systems, you're setting yourself up for failure because those take a tremendous amount of resources and mental energy.” – Jason A. Duprat “Every time you're making a business decision about systems, processes, operations, and marketing, think forward and anticipate the impact it's going to bring years down the road.” – Jason A.
